Build European Digital Sovereignty
The open social web offers Europe a unique opportunity to create social platforms aligned with European values, regulations, and cultural diversity.
Digital Sovereignty
Control over digital infrastructure to protect citizens' data and ensure alignment with European values
Democratic Values
Platforms that prioritize democratic principles, transparency, and human rights in design and governance
User-Centric Design
Platforms designed for human wellbeing and meaningful connections rather than maximizing engagement and addiction
Infrastructure Control
European-owned infrastructure ensuring resilience against external pressures and strategic autonomy
Why Europe Needs Its Own Social Media
Even if you're not concerned about digital sovereignty, here's why European social media matters
Democratic Governance
Social platforms with governance models that reflect European democratic values and give users a voice in platform decisions
Innovation Ecosystem
Creating space for European startups and developers to build social innovations aligned with European values and needs
Community Empowerment
Supporting diverse communities to thrive independently, enabling cultural expression and local governance without being dominated by a single platform or community
Why Bluesky & AT Protocol Are Leading Candidates for European Social Media
The AT Protocol that powers Bluesky offers significant advantages for building European digital sovereignty while maintaining global interoperability.
Decentralized Architecture

Data Portability
Users own their data and can migrate between providers without losing connections
What's Still Needed
European Infrastructure
Investment in European-hosted servers, data centers, and network infrastructure
Truly Decentralized
Join the effort to evolve the protocol and fix neuralgic aspects that are yet to be fully decentralized, including identity management.
